Roddy Pipers legacy is under serious scrutiny after a new documentary on Luna Vachon included an accusation that the WWE Hall of Famer sexually assaulted her when she was a young teenager.
The claim, revealed during the premiere of Lunatic: The Luna Vachon Story at Fantastic Fest, immediately jolted the audience and is now sparking deep conversations about wrestlings dark past.
Wrestling content creator Tyler Williams, who attended the screening, posted a video to Instagram recounting what he heard in the film. The allegation was brief but unmistakable a voice in the documentary claimed that Piper assaulted Vachon when she was just 12 or 13 years old.
Williams wasnt sure if the audio came from Vachon herself or from someone relaying her story, but the accusation hit hard either way.
The film tied the moment into a broader conversation about how unsafe the wrestling world was for women at the time. According to Williams, the segment touched on how little protection female performers had backstage.
Williams also spoke to the films director after the screening. She admitted she wasnt sure if the claim should be included, but ultimately decided it was an essential part of Vachons story.
Roddy Piper died in 2015, and Luna Vachon passed away in 2010. Both were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Piper in 2005, and Vachon posthumously in 2019. Williams reflected on how difficult it is to hear such claims about childhood heroes.
As of now, neither WWE nor representatives of Pipers family have commented on the allegation. Ringside News will keep you updated if additional information becomes available.
